Enhancing Cyber Awareness : The Role of Higher Education Institutions in Building a Digitally Secure Generation

Author(s) Ms. Rahi Deuri
Country India
Abstract The increasing reliance on digital platforms has heightened cybersecurity concerns, particularly in higher education institutions where students frequently engage in online activities. This study investigates the role of higher education institutions in enhancing cyber awareness and fostering a digitally secure generation. Using a descriptive research method, data were collected from 300 graduate-level students, faculty members, IT staff, and administrators across seven colleges in Dhemaji District. The findings reveal that while some institutions offer cybersecurity education, a significant portion lacks structured programs, leaving students vulnerable to cyber threats such as phishing, hacking, and identity theft. Additionally, many students demonstrate poor cybersecurity practices, such as password sharing and weak authentication measures. The study highlights institutional challenges, including limited curriculum integration, insufficient resources, and inadequate cybersecurity policies. Based on these insights, recommendations include integrating cybersecurity courses into curricula, conducting awareness programs, strengthening institutional policies, and improving cybersecurity infrastructure. These initiatives will contribute to developing a cyber-aware student community and ensuring a more secure academic environment.
Keywords Cybersecurity awareness, higher education institutions, cyber threats, digital security, student engagement, cybercrime prevention, cybersecurity education, online safety.
